Life and Times of Kalyan

With malice, towards one and all (3)

Animosity is far better than indifference. Antipathy better than apathy. Resentment, strife, malevolence better than impassivity. Resistance can be tackled, but this lack of concern simply can’t be eschewed. Look at history, Rammohun Roy had been hit with bricks. Songs of contempt has been sung for Vidyasagar. Derozio had been starved to death. Gandhi’s chastity has been questioned. Parliamentarians had a quality debate on social issues in the first parliament.

And now ? Have you heard, two MPs abused each other in the interview. It happens you know. Xyz got 2 Grammys. So what. Pollution is sky-rocketing. My new born baby is asthmatic and the Minister thinks only of his vote-bank. No reaction. A thousand Jhonpris have been buldozed to make a new footpath for the joggers.Aw. Gujarat Police arrested two youths because they were reading Qoran in a public place. Aw. Bomb-burst. Masjid demolition. Terrorists attacking temples. Aw. Aw. Aw. Come on man! Gimme a reaction. When will you have ‘your fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy’?
